Americans Ate 400 Million Fewer Animals in 2014

Sarah Von Alt June 29, 2015
It’s a question you may have heard one too many times: Do
vegans really save animals? And it’s never been clearer that the answer to that
question is an enthusiastic yes!
The proof? According to the USDA,
400 million fewer animals were slaughtered in 2014 than in 2007. That’s 400
million individuals who were spared a lifetime of unimaginable suffering.
In light of a continually growing population, this decrease
can only mean one thing: more and more people are eating less meat or ditching
it altogether in favor of plant-based foods. And those choices are sparing
animals lives in a very measurable way.
Animals on modern
farms
are kept cramped in filthy, disease-ridden conditions, subjected to
mutilations without painkillers, and denied fresh air and sunlight until the
day they are trucked to slaughter.
Whether it’s protecting animals, the environment, or your
own health, the benefits of a vegan diet have never been clearer, and delicious
vegan foods have never been more accessible.
